Questions from Fulbrook
Is Fulbrook too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Fulbrook?
The closest is Shipton station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We will let you know quickly.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Fulbrook.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your wake, and we will check the date and send a price.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Fulbrook?

Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
